I’ve considered becoming a substance abuse counselor Long before I came face to face with my own demons, in fact I might still do it,
I see newbies and it reminds me of what and where I started, it also gives that subtle reminder that I never wanna go back.
I know Corin, she’s strong, and very strong willed, she will do well.

I make my meeting at 6:30 and go straight to work after. My schedule is in tact! Also advice on my last entry would be appreciated
Have them listen to Jocko Podcast. Jocko is all about Discipline Equals Freedom. Better yet, you listen to it, and lay it on them.
A squared away room indicates a sense of pride. Maybe a contest over who can have the best. Maybe room of the week. Winner gets some special privilege. Men are competitive. No one wants to be last.

I agree with Yoda-Stevie. (Symbolic) prizes and rewards for desired behaviour. Some sort of competition.
I like to bake … this could work!

Ooohhh… ignore me I am just getting all interested but really have no clue.
Bring in something amazing the first time around as a hi Im Corin have a treat… hook them in.
And be all casual about it… make some sort of announcement post a flyer, and bring in the treat but dont give them out until you see action. And leave with the treats when they dont meet expectations.
Or… you may find that they like a certain thing that they want more of as you get to know them. Card games, extra time for some activity… I am thinking about my teens, right now, so may be super off base. McDonald motivates my oldest… Being a health and wellness coach this slays me everytime I use McDonalds as the prize.

What I did with my Marines was room of the week was exempted from having to clean common areas the following week. They just had to clean their own space. This was plenty of incentive and a room rarely won twice in a row. Soon everyone’s room was super squared away. It got really tough to pick which one was best.

Ahh yes the competition in the military, I think everything we ever did was some sort of competition of sorts, best qual, best pt score, best appearing whatever, it became more of a competition than a standard. But it motivated the fuck out of you

Give them a good smack and tell them to clean their shit, lol jk If theres any meth addicts ask them to clean they do a great job, also jk 
But seriously i would explain to them that having responsibilities is a part of the getting clean process and being held accountable. Explain that cleaning their rooms or common areas are a light and easy responsibility they need to make part of their routine. Mabe set a time like a hour a day for cleaning, and the reward system is a great idea, even if you just bring in some cheap candy, you’d be suprised how many addicts have a mega sweet tooth. I dont know if any of this helped just some ideas and what i would personally try doing
